Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 12

Abstract

The ability to raise questions is important for investigators. The substance, kinds, and the direction of the questions determine the value of the information during investigation process. The research is aimed at revealing the investigators’ strategies in finding the proven information. The investigators should be able to formulate the questions so they are able to get clear information from the suspects. They investigators are considered successful when they are able to convince the suspects to give the real information. By using descriptive qualitative paradigm, the data were collected and analyzed with observation and interview methods. The data were taken from the investigators from Galang-based Indonesian National Police in Galang District, Deli Serdang regency and consisted of the investigators’ questions addressed to the suspects. The data were transcripted and analyzed by using content analysis method to find the dominant uses and the connection between one to another in finding the value meaning, purpose and aim of the information. The dominant questions used in the KPKS and KPy investigative interview are direct-opened question (102 or 27.1%) because the investigators needed the specific information. The investigative activities showed the physical and material truths from the criminal cases.
